One of the online radio channels I am addict to is : StillStream ..
They stream some great inspirational music ranging fron space music to zen to electronic and ambient
they also support a wide range of players for different plaforms as shown in their front page ..

and mpd (aka musicpd in FreeBSD) with the ncmpc front end. On my dual core amd both cpu's were around 0.4%. Mpd allows saving stream url's as a playlist. Mpd is also relatively easy to configure in OpenBSD. I store my mp3/flac in a single music folder in my home directory, edit a single line in /etc/mpd.conf to show the absolute path to the music directory, add myself to the _mpd group in /etc/group and set mpd to start in /etc/rc.conf.local.

Reason: added steps to setup ncmpc/mpd

in fact , if I like some ongoing stream I use the newbie's laziest choice : httrack it .. lol .. it saves current stream .. until you 'CTRL+C' it ..
maybe I 'll learn a good way of doing this from you nice folk .. as usual ..
